Clemency Event for Judy Clark

[Julie Terestman]

Dear IDP Members

Please join the Village Zendo in supporting Judy Clark's appeal for
clemency. At the age of 62, having served 30 years in prison we
believe Judy Clark deserves freedom and the opportunity to rejoin
society. Behind bars Judy entered the belly of the whale as she put
it, and through the difficult work of deep atonement and self
reflection found herself. She has become a model of wise and
compassionate action and as such is no longer the same person who
committed the crime all those years ago. We believe her release will
not only benefit Judy herself, but society as a whole, and nurture the
values of rehabilitation, transformation, and forgiveness -
characteristics of a just, wise, and compassionate world.

For more info please go to Judy's website at www.judithclark.org and
